About

Second-year Biomedical Sciences student at Queen Mary University of London, focused on the data side of biology: computational biology, data analysis, and applying machine learning to health and biological problems. Last summer I did a research placement at the Francis Crick Institute analysing flow cytometry data in Python and FlowJo. That's where the direction clicked — I'm more interested in what the data can show than the bench work itself. Since then I've been building. My main project is Vera, a full-stack web app that scores food products across nutrition, additives, and processing, with barcode scanning and better-alternative recommendations. I built the FastAPI backend, the frontend in Jinja2/vanilla JS, and deployed it on Render. Code's on my GitHub. Currently looking for internships and placements in data analysis, computational biology, or applied health research. Open to connecting.
